ST. PAUL, MIMI, Feb. I, 1887.
The legislature resumed session at half
past two this afternoon, the Senate having
had a vacation from Friday while the
House put in a full days work on Saturday.
Notwithstanding this large number of the
members of the House went home over Sun
yesterday. Now that the high license ques-
ton is practically settled, there's no
exciting issue before the Legislature
and the members can take the chances: of.a
snow blockade and go home over Sunday
There is good deal Of talk relative to get
ting the Governor to call an extra session of
the Legislature to hold thirty days session
immediately on the conclusion of this one.
The avalanche of bills now pending convinc-
es everyone that great deal will be left in
an unfinished condition when the sixty
t1{s Of nave extra e1 1assan an" tha results th,s
l doubt, however, whether it will mate
rialize. The people have voted in favor Of
biennial sessions of sixty days and l rather
imagine the Governor will take the ground
that that is what they wanted when they SO
voted Governor Hubbard took that posi-
ton though there was a strong pressure
wrought on him to call an extra session but
he declined on the ground that the people
had voted for biennial sessions and he did
not propose to thwart their wishes by max
ing them annual:
The introduction of new bills was the
leading feature OF business this afternoon.
There have been nearly one thousand bills
introduced in the two branches since the
Legislature began and over 500 of these are
probably, entirely devoted to local matters
and of no general interest outside of Il speci-
tic locality. There are indications too, that
the State tax wild have to be increased a
little this year to meet the heavy appropria-
ton accruing owing to the increase OF our
institutions. The Insane Asylum at
Rochester has in bill for $4,000 for
additions.
The asylum at st. Peter has called for $l4,-
5 @. The new insane asylum at Fergus
Falls must be provided for and the new
prison at East ST. Cloud must have its
share. All the Normal schools are
clamoring for more and there is
an effort being made to establish fourth
school besides SO that it will he very sur
prising if it is not necessary to increase the
taxes to meet these extraordinary expendi-
lures. In the list Of bills offered to-day, /
do not find any of general State interest.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 5, 1887.
This was about the dullest day the legis-
lative session has developed. The high
license business had such on effect on the
Senate that that body adjourned from
Friday until Monday in order to take
breath, spit on its hands and grab the legis-
lative machine with renewed vigor. 1t is
pretty generally the case that when only one
house is in session the other is dull and co J.
fines itself to routine work, which generally
sentatives Donnelly and Potter had not had
a verbal sparring match the house proceed
ings to-day would have been absolutely in
tolerable for their dullness. MIR. Donnelly
introduced bill which provides that where
a man has mortgage on his property he
shall only pay a tax on the assessed valua
ton in excess of the mortgage and the hold
or of the mortgage the remainder. If man
has a loan of $500 on property assessed at
$500, under this bill he would pay the tax
on $1,000 and the holder of the mortgage on
$500. The Judiciary committee reported
against the bill on the ground of its doubt
full constitutionality: Such a report usu-
ally kills bill but it didn't this time. Mr..
Donnelly got the bill placed on file for Sec
ond reading and from there it will take it's
regular course and come to direct vote in
the house. Mr. Potter thought the committee
the controversy. There We're IS bills intro
duced bringing the total up to sos which
have been launched in that body. Aside
from one to establish grain commission
and several amendments to the general
statutes on technical points, all of the bills
were local, relati"g to bridges, roads and
the issue of bonds. The entire afternoon
session was spent in committee of the whole
and about dozen bills were sent to third
reading. 1t was an industrious, though dull
DAYS work.

ST. PAUL, Feb, 4. 10

ST. PAUL, Feb. 4, 1887.
This was another field day for high license
Yesterday it was in the House and to-day
in the Senate. The high license bill had
been considered by the Senate on Tuesday
and ordered placed at the head of the
calendar for third reading on Friday. At
the morning session the high license men
were good deal disturbed and worried by
the absence of two of their men. AS much
dilatory matter as possible was worked
in to keep the order of third
little after II (noon) when the calendar was
reached and still two high license Senators
were absent. The friends OF the bill hastily
moved an adjournment until after noon
and the President declared it carried though
the vote sounded otherwise. After dinner
appearance and the business went ahead.
Various attempts to amend or delay were
made by the opponents Of the bill but the
high license men had their vote massed in
good shape and every proposed change
went down. In about an hour and a half a
vote was reached and the bill passed by rs
to 10 as follows:
Yeas-Brown, Buckman, Chapman, Clark,
Clough, Compton, Comstock, Crandall,
Daniels, Day, Dodge, Eaton, Ed wards, Fin
seth, Goodrich, Halvorson, Hoard, Ives,

Nays Anderson, Bowen, Burkhardt,
Child, Durant, Gibson, Hall, Hayden, Hix-
on, Keller, Nachbar, Nelson, Oswald, Pope,
Shields, Smith, Ward, Welch, Whiteman,
Wood, 10.
Senators Chapman and Pope when their
names were called explained why they
voted for the bill and Senators Bowen
Hall, Nachbar, Nelson, Ward, Whiteman
and Wood explained why they voted
against it. The question, however, was
practically party one the only Democrat
voting for high license being Pope OF
Blue Earth and the only Republicans voting
against it being Ward of Waseca, Wood OF
Rice, Hall Of Renville and Thacker of Pope
The bill pending in the house being sub
stantially the same will probably now be
dropped and the Senate bill substituted
When the passage of the Senate bill was an
! nounced in the House it was read the first
and second time and made the special order
for Wednesday afternoon Feb. 9th. The
House being much stronger for high license
than the Senate the ultimate passage of the
bill seems certain, and liquor licenses will
be $1,000 in cities Of 10000 or over and S5Ot
